Most all of my toys I name with an ie/y suffix. Breaky, Haletti, Boxy, Rapty, Mini, Dodgie and a few others. (Breaky was one of the boats and a fitting name.) Added the suffix to my last name. Smitty was taken here so I put Happy in front of it.

All of my wheeled toys get girls names, that usually starts with G, but some outliers have made appearances.

Fox box was Gloria
Bronco, Gabby
Expedition, Betsy (already had the name)
Excursion, Gertrude
Ranger, Giselle
Fairlane, Casper(already had name also)
Lightning, Gwen
F150, Genevieve
I have not found a suitable name for the 69 yet.

The Cobra is named Bliss (the only departure from my traditional naming)


and yes, my brain sits a little off center in its hole 😎

Many many years of competitive shooting.
Back then… I really never missed, 1000 yds, 1500 yds, 2500 yds, and beyond. I am not as accurate as I used to be. Use it or lose it. I play with my PCP airguns today, taking the heads off pigeons/squirrels at 100yds.. thats fun.

Use to be "Family Tradition 329" when we had a 19' Hallett SS that we ski raced and play ski with full interior. V-drives were a family tradition.
When we built the Vector in 1995 it was race only and we wanted something that sounded a little more racy.
We came up with High Voltage related to my construction background. The 329 our race number is the month and day of my wife and mine's first date.

Started out on HB and then RDP as Havasu1986. 86‘ was the year I bought my first lot in Havasu and built a new home. Changed it to Bobby V for my first name and last name initial. 😝

Little thread crap.... 😁 My first time in Havasu was 1985 a month July/August. Loved the hot weather. Thought to myself the cost of living was really low. Lots of bargains to be had (housing wise). Not much work though. Was on loan from my Michigan job.

Before I was 21, my fake ID was Roger, and it became a name I used when I didn't want to use my real name. In the 90's I used an alias for work, and I used Roger since I was already accustomed to going by that name. When i got my first email address in 1999, it was RogerThat99@.... when I started joining forums, I used RogerThat99.

Boats name. Dad and I went to get a new water heater, but got side tracked. I bought the boat instead. When we go back my mom walked out and said, "is this my new water heater?" The name stuck.

Well hell my go to used to be Honda-rider14 back on Xrs only, thumpertalk, dieselplace, duramaxforum, my race number was always 14, glamisdunes was motomechanic14, wanted something new for RDP

Lurked for a couple years on RDP and finally made a name late at night 2014 ish after a long shift and couple beers with a buddy when we were working at a Craft your Own pizza place(like blaze) start up in westlake village/camarillo area.

We were making up some dough for the next day grand opening party crap and we had a piece of equipment that would roll and ball the individual weighted dough after we hand hand kneaded it, it was called a baller and it was dough and i was fast at that process so Doughballin put together and as always added my race number.

Had people in other places think i was trying to say i was rich or ballin but thats far from reality haha.

Early 2000's the morning after bar hopping, having a cig or drinks reminissing about the night before my roommate would typically start the conversation with.... "man, you were hammered last night......" That eventually got shortened to Hammer, and the nickname stuck... joined here and it just made sense.

Last name is King and 295 was my AMA number from when I raced. I used to go by 50$Pit on various forums which stood for 50 (i.e. Honda XR/CRF 50cc bikes), money, pit. After taking a hiatus from big bike racing I got way too deep into pit bike racing building pit bikes that were $20-30K easily. I wish I never did get into it because I hurt myself pretty good on those stupid little bikes but we had a damn good time doing it. Much like building a hot rod boat, the level of customization was endless.

Started on Hot Boat

"Pengo" = Fraternity Nickname.
"Y"= Greek letter for Upsilon (Kinda look like a Y).
"O" = Greek letter for Omicron.
I had a hoodie that had "YO" on it. Every time I walked into a party everyone would yell "YO Pengo!"

It just kinda stuck.

Named after my new boat which actually originally was going to be red, hence the Flamin hot, but then decided to change to blue instead but kept the name 😃

It was the first name I came up with. I'm from Texas and have a jet boat. I was surprised is wasn't taken.
